I noticed on the Nat Geo map that there is a gate on the military road at Perkins Clearing. Planning a loop hike around Cedar, Pillsbury and Mud lakes in October. Is this gate open year round and is the military road passable to Pillsbury Mtn. trail head with a car?
I don’t recall there being a gate on Old Military Road, but there is one on Jessup River Road on both ends when it comes to NY 30. This gate is open from June 1 – December 1. Jessup River Road is in good shape, Old Military Road has some wash out in parts, but it should be accessible with due care. The DEC has good maps of this area. https://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/49562.html
